In the latest episode of MBC's Home for Rent (구해줘 홈즈), aired on March 6, 2025, Kim Dae-ho made a memorable entrance by showcasing his humorous side right from the start. The episode featured a visit to a newly opened silver town located in Pyeongchang-dong, Jongno-gu, which has been operational for just a year since its opening in December 2023. Conveniently situated along a main road, the location boasts easy access to four major hospitals within a 20-minute drive. The trio was captivated by the various community facilities, including a spa, gym, and cinema.

During their tour, they found themselves in a jjimjilbang (찜질방), a Korean-style sauna, where the chilly weather had lulled Kim Dae-ho into a state of relaxation, leading him to doze off. His unexpected nap provided a comedic moment that had viewers laughing. Expressing his delight, Kim Dae-ho remarked, "This is so nice," highlighting the jjimjilbang as his favorite feature. Park Na-rae humorously asked, "Who went to the jjimjilbang experience?" which added to the laughter.

Kim Dae-ho, who has recently showcased his rumba dancing skills on a dance program, also entertained the audience by demonstrating his moves on the spot.

In a particularly engaging moment, Kim Sook inquired if Kim Dae-ho had received many program offers since declaring his availability, mentioning rumors of four offers. He responded, "I know of more than that," sparking envy among his coordinators. When asked if he would consider appearing on other networks, he playfully replied, "I should make the rounds."

In the latest episode of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2’ (전현무계획2), which aired on March 7, 2025, hosts Jeon Hyun-moo (전현무), Kwak Tube (곽튜브), and actress Ji Yeo-eun (지예은) showcased their delightful chemistry during a food trip in Yeongdeok (영덕). The 20th episode of this real-life food documentary, co-produced by MBN and Channel S, featured the trio exploring local eateries in Yeongdeok, starting with the famous Andong ribs (안동 갈비). They savored various dishes, including Kwak Tube's recommended Yeongdeok seafood restaurant and a budget-friendly crab spot, providing viewers with both entertainment and valuable culinary insights.

After finishing their Andong food tour, Jeon Hyun-moo expressed his desire to visit Yeongdeok, saying, "I was planning to go to another area, but I can't stop thinking about Andong ribs." The duo then visited a carefully selected rib restaurant, where they enjoyed Andong-style garlic ribs, seasoned only with garlic and sesame oil, and were impressed by the taste of the garlic marinated ribs with soy sauce. After clearing their last dish in Andong, Jeon declared, "The next stop is Yeongdeok!" He also introduced Ji Yeo-eun as their special guest for the day, describing her as a vibrant star actively participating in variety shows.

Upon meeting Ji Yeo-eun, Kwak Tube shared his knowledge of a local restaurant that changes its menu based on the seafood caught that day, showcasing his charm. The trio ordered dishes including a stew made with flatfish (미주구리) and the popular pork stir-fry (돼지 두루치기).

While enjoying their meal, Kwak Tube posed a surprise question to Ji Yeo-eun about which of the three popular MCs—Yoo Jae-suk (유재석), Shin Dong-yup (신동엽), or Jeon Hyun-moo—she would prefer to work with if they were to compete in the same time slot. Ji Yeo-eun replied, "I feel comfortable with Yoo Jae-suk," which led to a playful moment of jealousy from Jeon Hyun-moo, who jokingly lamented, "At least pretend to think about it!" After their meal, Ji Yeo-eun insisted on trying the famous crab in Yeongdeok, prompting Jeon to lead them to a highly recommended crab restaurant known for its value.

The restaurant, located near a harbor known only to locals, was not in the popular crab street of Yeongdeok. Upon entering, Ji Yeo-eun excitedly declared, "I just want to eat crab!" This prompted Jeon Hyun-moo to humorously comment that he felt like he was with his daughter, expressing a sudden desire to have a child. The group enjoyed a remarkable crab dish priced at 30,000 won each, showcasing incredible value. During the meal, Jeon asked Ji Yeo-eun about her ideal type, to which she responded, "I like someone who is kind, witty, and shares my sense of humor." Kwak Tube teased her about her rumored love interest, Kang Hoon (강훈), leading to a light-hearted discussion about their relationship.

As the food trip concluded, the trio topped off their meal with crab shell fried rice and flatfish, savoring every last bite. Kwak Tube praised the experience, stating, "I've been to many restaurants while filming ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan,’ but this one is number one for happiness," to which Ji Yeo-eun playfully replied, "It's because I'm here!" 

The Yeongdeok food trip with Ji Yeo-eun wrapped up, and the next episode, featuring a special guest for the 39th food trip titled ‘A Round of Beef,’ will air on March 14 at 9:10 PM on MBN and Channel S.

In related news, rumors about Jeon Hyun-moo's relationship with Hong Joo-yeon (홍주연) began on KBS2’s ‘Boss’s Ears Are Donkey Ears’ when a prank led to speculation about their marriage. Jeon Hyun-moo later clarified that many of the rumors were untrue, and Hong Joo-yeon expressed her surprise at the attention, stating she wants to show her true self gradually.

Choo candidly shared, "I have loved meat since I was young, but I couldn't eat much due to financial constraints. My family would go to a buffet once a month. It wasn't until I was over thirty that I started eating with my own money, especially after I began earning from fighting. I didn't make money when I was practicing judo, but I started earning through mixed martial arts."

He also disclosed that his annual salary has increased more than tenfold, stating, "If you add up all my fight money, it amounts to about 1 billion won. However, even with that, there isn't much left over."

On March 7, a new video titled "More Spicy Soup than Catfish" was released on the 'DoJang TV' channel featuring the couple Jang Yoon-jung (장윤정) and Do Kyung-wan (도경완). During their visit to a spicy soup restaurant, Jang revealed, "I had never tried Pyongyang cold noodles before marriage. After marrying, I started eating it because my spouse loves it. But he never lets me have things like chicken feet. Just the other day, I ate chicken feet by myself." 

Do Kyung-wan responded, "But why did you eat it during our dating? Let’s have a little inquiry here. You never called me 'oppa' (older brother). When I asked, 'What food do you like the most, Yoon-jung?' you said, 'I love chicken feet and gopchang (grilled intestines).' I thought we really clicked. You used to eat it a lot, and I thought you were cool and laid-back, so I wanted to impress you. On our wedding night, instead of going on our honeymoon, I ordered chicken feet at the hotel to be cool and relaxed. But you were disappointed by that," he shared, drawing attention. 

Do Kyung-wan recounted their wedding night, saying, "We stayed at a hotel in front of Seoul City Hall after the ceremony. Jang Yoon-jung said, 'Of course we sleep together; we are a couple.' After the ceremony, we fell asleep, and I woke up around 9 PM. I was looking at the room service menu, thinking about ordering cheese plates and wine. I was going to ask you what you wanted, but you came out and said, 'I slept well; I ordered what I wanted.'" 

Jang Yoon-jung defended herself, saying, "I really wanted to look good, like 'the same old girl.'" Do Kyung-wan humorously added, "Then, a little later, the chicken feet delivery guy came to the hotel. We almost had chicken feet with him on our wedding night!" 

Jang Yoon-jung questioned, "But why did you pretend to like it during our dating? Shouldn’t you have continued to show interest after we got married? You never did once!" 

Do Kyung-wan cheekily replied, "Well, I got you, didn’t I?" To which Jang Yoon-jung advised, "Ladies, be careful!" eliciting laughter.

On the March 8 episode of MBC's entertainment show Point of Omniscient Interference (전지적 참견 시점), hosts Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Young-ja shared their thoughts on marriage. The episode featured YouTuber Shim Eui-ddeum and comedian Shin Gi-ru. Shim Eui-ddeum, showcasing her athletic physique, humorously claimed she could lift Shin Gi-ru but noted that she couldn't do the same for Lee Young-ja due to her brother-in-law, Hwang Dong-joo, being present, which elicited laughter from the audience.

Shim Eui-ddeum's husband and manager, Kim Hyung-cheol, expressed his happiness in being her partner, stating, "Living as Shim Eui-ddeum's husband is fulfilling. We work out together every day, and I've become healthier because of her." He humorously added that they do laundry three to four times a day, with Shim Eui-ddeum accounting for 90% of the laundry, and boasted about her extensive knowledge of leggings from various brands.

Shim Eui-ddeum's day was packed; she started with intense stretching before going for a 10km run with Sean and Ko Han-min. Comedian Yang Se-hyung praised her performance, noting that while he aimed to complete the run in 50 minutes but fell short by 30 seconds, Shim Eui-ddeum finished in an impressive 49 minutes during her first competition.

Later, Shim Eui-ddeum returned to her company, which manages five different brands related to diet foods, products, applications, and YouTube content. Her manager mentioned that they have 30 employees, each representing different aspects of the business. Shim Eui-ddeum shared her journey, stating, "Since entering college in 2009, I've read every book on dieting and tried all the products to provide valuable insights as a creator."

Shin Gi-ru consulted a fortune teller about her prospects for the year, who indicated that she would experience significant changes in her living and working environments, suggesting that she would thrive in a water-energy location.

Upon hearing this, Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "I believe in fortune-telling. It even predicted my win at last year's entertainment awards." When Hong Hyun-hee asked if that meant he had no luck in marriage, Jeon Hyun-moo replied, "That's why I believe in it; no one has ever told me I would marry soon." He then turned to Lee Young-ja, asking if she had any marriage luck. Lee Young-ja playfully responded, "It's all up to my mindset. When someone I like appears, my feelings change."
